Hello Ike.
Wonderful shot, very beautiful this bird with so varied plumage, the image stands out brightly on the greenish and nice bottom of the leaves.
A good work with a suitable luminosity, good color and a charming motive.
Have to nice day. Best regards.

it is very nice when the animals are posing for camera. nice idea to take more shots. I liked the position of the bird against the leaves and it is well positioned too. Nice the soft light in the bird despite the white sky
